FORM, FUNCTION, STRUCTURE AND PROCESS: THE MILTONIAN CATEGORIES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FORMAL LOGIC

Abstract

The logic can be understood as a discipline that aims to assist human beings in the construction and critique of valid knowledge. Formal Logic, in turn, is a modality of this discipline that aims to make generalizations about the characteristic features of the analyzed phenomena. Considering the specificities of this modality, the objective of this paper is to build some approximations and to highlight some existing distances between Formal Logic and the Miltonian categories form, function, structure and process, having as a methodological theoretical reference the Charles Sanders Peirce Phenomenology and Pure Grammar. Therefore, we propose the theoretical review of these sciences, the semiotic-formal analysis of geographical categories and indications of the limitations of this approach.
